Then some of the photos showed how misshapen women's feet are today from high heels and pointy toed shoes. I have never been able to wear them or endure the pain for more than 15 seconds.

They also showed skulls that were shaped in various ways in different cultures to make them more elongated and pointy....I think Roger Stone must have had this done to him when he was younger.
